Naw, the real bottom line is that you, sir, are a G.D. Democrat, like other Democrats at war against your country from Day One.
You hate the USA and the only political party which founded & still defends it -- Federalists, Whigs & now Republicans.
The real bottom line is that I don't particularly care about Democrat monuments -- Democrats put them up, Democrats can take them down, it's not a Republican responsibility.
So you have an argument with your fellow GD Democrats -- talk to them, don't talk to me, I'm not responsible for your messes!
Of course they should do it lawfully, and if I really cared about your stinking monuments, I'd be out defending them, which is where you should be, sir, not just posting stupid accusations online.

Naw, what's really telling is that you don't have even the modicum of honesty to admit this argument is between you and your fellow GD Democrats, and Republicans have nothing to do with your nonsense.
Look, I'm happy if you Democrats want to put up statues to your own anti-American heroes, go ahead, it's a free country.
And I'm just as happy when you GD Democrats want to tear down your old statues in favor of some new ones, that's your privilege.
Of course I don't like it when you guys tear down my heroes -- Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant, even Columbus!.
But it does at least dramatize how much you Democrats have hated the USA from the beginning.
ek_hornbeck: "If you want them as allies in your cause, so be it.
Just don't then turn around and complain when the people you applauded for tearing down a statue of Jefferson Davis take their crusade further and tear down statues of the Founding Fathers because (according to your Black racialist allies) they were "racists" and "slavers.""
Naw, they're not my "allies", they're your responsibility, Mr. GD Democrat.
When they attack American symbols, they only demonstrate yet again how much you people have hated the USA, from the beginning.
